Russian Lawmaker Threatens Missile Strikes on Alaska.

Russian State Duma Deputy Andrey Gurulyov threatened to attack Alaska with missile strikes, claiming that Russia's strategic nuclear force holds America's territory. The comments come amid the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine, with the U.S. supplying Ukraine with military assistance. Russian commentators have previously spoken about Alaska since the war began, with some claiming that Alaska belongs to Russia. The U.S. purchased Alaska from Russia for $7.2 million in 1867.
